As you can see I changed the background color of the last painting I posted. I just felt everything was too cold and it needed more color. Backgrounds are always challenging and once I posted it I thought "it's just not pretty" So what do you think? Improved? Should I head back to the easel? Painting is so hard, lol. I love it and the challenging part of it keeps me coming back.

Hi there, Last night was Third Thursday at the Artist Lounge, the new co-op here in town that I display in. We take turns each month demonstrating and last night was my turn. I set up a still life with a blue and white pitcher and fresh fruit. I set it up in a box with a light on it, trying to block light coming in from everywhere. Always makes me a bit nervous to paint in front of a crowd but I enjoyed it. I did end up taking out a couple of the oranges toward the end, it felt too busy. I am looking at it today and I may do a little more work on it. It is oil on a 11" x 14" canvas.

I had such a great day today! I went to Waynesville Ohio and competed in a Quick Draw. We had three hours and you can draw or paint. I chose to paint and completed a 8" x 10" in two hours. Sometimes I think it's best to quick early and chance picking it to death just because you have time. I framed my very wet oil painting and set it on my easel. I won! Feels so great to be coming home a winner. It's up and down with this painting life, something good happens and then rejection. Today's a wonderful day!
